Trauma education

Prompt recognition of life-threatening injury and appropriate early management can significantly improve outcomes following trauma. At Geisinger, our trauma-related activities — education, advocacy, professional development, standards of care, and assessment of outcomes — are designed to improve the care of injured patients before, during and after hospitalization. The following courses provide a structure in which the participant will learn to identify injuries associated with major trauma as well as the management skills required for timely management of traumatic injury.

All courses are in PDF format:
